What does lyrical mircale mean?

[razassin]

Lyrical Miracle = mean rappers who put more emphasis on the form than over the substance

Meanin' they aint got much to rap about so they will have a bunch of multis-rhymes clustered the fukk up cuz of it n end up makin no sense or just talkin bout some silly ass bullshyt

Me personally, I find it dope once in a while when a nikka freestylin or some shyt like that, but I dont wanna hear that shyt on a record unless its dope and makes sense like Puns ''dead in the middle...'' line

 

[IllmaticDelta]

lyrical miracle is advanced lyricism but w/o really saying anything...basically keith murray and prime, kurupt types

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Good rappers?

has nothing to do with quality and more what they are or aren't saying because it's pretty much rambling

If so Grime rappers are lyrical miracles right?

they're

 

[The Ruler 09]

99 percent of people who say that are morons, who use it for anything that is complex or takes skill. What it SHOULD mean is people that use big words but aren't saying anything and it's just thrown together (often to sound intelligent or complex). Most people on here use it completely wrong and use it for anything lyrical cause they're imbeciles.

The way I understand it is that it's the rap equivalent of purple prose in fiction.

In literary criticism, purple prose is prose text that is so extravagant, ornate, or flowery as to break the flow and draw excessive attention to itself. Purple prose is characterized by the excessive use of adjectives, adverbs, and metaphors. When it is limited to certain passages, they may be termed purple patches or purple passages, standing out from the rest of the work.

Purple prose is criticized for desaturating the meaning in an author's text by overusing melodramatic and fanciful descriptions.

Purple prose - Wikipedia

It sacrifices meaning for words, putting in a bunch of words for the sake of it and they just happen to rhyme but the rhymes themselves don't actually make sense(or it could make sense but you can tell the person went overboard with the dictionary and the thesaurus). Being overly wordy but not really saying much.

Note: People like Nas, GZA, Lupe, Common, etc are NOT examples of this. Because they know how to use language and are actually saying something.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

excessive vocabulary with no meaning where a rapper doesn't even know what he saying he just looked in the dictionary

a lot of underground rappers do this sometimes you have long words with no wordplay or context to the situation/narrative

 

[CrimsonTider]

As opposed to not really rapping and not saying much? Like Future?

Future says a lot

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

people rapping to rap without saying much and pretty corny with it. Eminem is probably the best example but at the same time some people love him for it.

This here. Lyrical miracle are songs like Rap God. Canibus was prob guilty of this too.

 

[jelanitsunami]

Lyrical raps that lack substance. Just rhyming words for the sake of rhyming words. Eminem "Rap God" is exhibit a.

 

[FlimFlam]

Some shyt people incapable of expressing themselves clearly and those who lack wit piggybacked on and ran to the ground

It had credence and their are examples of it (i think of later kurupt tbh...especially on some 4 horserman tracks he was just rhyming random large words at times ) but now its a point of folks repeating what they heard

I cant really rock wit this example of keith murray...cause for one, he was an innovator and for two, the nikka had JAMS and was VERY versatile....think of "lyricle miracle" lame emcess and imagine them on that rkelly home alone track...they couldn't pull that....they also cant rock parties...keith did

 

[criminology]

Yeah those people aren’t really lyrical or miracle.

 

[silk scarfs]

The lyrical miracle spiritual shyt is Eminem type shyt

So many complex rhymes and wordplay about nothing and has no replay value.

That's why nore is one of my favorite rappers. Never had no lyrical spiritual bullshyt but you can always feel what he saying

 

[Bigblackted4]

It’s funny I see lyrical as two different ways

Rappers who paint a picture with words
Pac
Kendrick
Scarface
8ball
Nas also a wordsmith

Rappers who are technical in rap
Lupe
Jay Z
CyHi
Mf Doom
J Cole
Pusha T

Like just because somebody isn’t as technical doesn’t mean that aren’t lyrical. Lyrical to me encompasses both the technical side (similies, metaphors, rhyme schemes) and story telling (creative themes and ideas, message, vividness of emotion, feel, realness)
